New to the site does anyone have info on Portland area Docs?

Thanks:clap2:

You might check with "Jack" from Oregon (quote below). I'm sure he must have done some researching of area doctors before choosing his doctor in Portland. Use search, put in oregon or jack, and his posts will come up.

"I'm in East Linn County......and I used Dr. Hong in Portland....great surgeon, everything has gone well for me.....

The Band has certainly improved MY life....."

Jack is also just a GREAT person to be acquainted with!

There's also a Dr. Emma Patterson out of Portland. I've heard nothing but good things about her. Best of luck to you.

Dr Patterson is a good Dr. (Or thats what they say) but she won't give you any breaks for not having any Insurance.

There are others in Bend who do banding. I believe there are other Band surgeons, but when I was looking 18 months ago, mostly they were RnY docs. I'm sure this is changing.

You are correct, sir. Their names are Dr. Marinus Koning and Dr. Stephen Archer and their contact info is as follows:

2705 NE Connors Suite B

Bend, OR 97701

Phone: (541) 322-5753

Dr. Patterson trained the surgeon who did my band here in Boise, Idaho. He did a fantastic job if that counts for anything.

Well I am in Longview Washington and found a doctor in Olympia that is wonderful and does a HUGE discount for cash pay so let me know if you are interested and I can give you more information

Dr. Patterson does loads of Medicare patients. I would call that a very good thing for any dr. to do. She is excellent and in fact taught the doctors in Boise how to do the procedure. The woman knows her stuff!!
